TikToker Tineke Tini Younger mourns loss of one twin after placental abruption

TikTok chef Tineke “Tini” Younger and her husband, Antoine Wright Jr., have announced the heartbreaking loss of one of their twin daughters following a placental abruption earlier this week.

“Earlier this week we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A),” Younger shared in a Facebook post. “We made it to almost 36 weeks but I had a placenta abruption and we lost our sweet girl. Her twin sister is doing really good and breathing on her own.”

Younger added that both babies are “so beautiful” and said Arya “will always be celebrated”. She reassured followers that her surviving twin will grow up knowing about her sister.

“I will be taking a break, not sure for how long but I promise I will be back. I love you guys,” she wrote.

In accompanying black-and-white photos, Younger and Wright are seen in hospital, holding baby Arya with medical staff nearby.

The announcement prompted an outpouring of support from followers, who shared messages of love and condolences while also celebrating the health of the surviving twin.

Placental abruption occurs when the placenta partially or completely separates from the uterus before birth, cutting off oxygen and nutrients to the baby and potentially causing severe bleeding in the mother. The condition can result in premature birth or stillbirth.
